mark g A masterpiece. So well done. Great script, cinematography, and acting. This film will be heralded forever. A very special film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Haxo A the screenplay, acting, camera-work etc. of this film have been rightly and highly praised. But Jerry Goldsmith's amazing score needs 2B mentioned more often, as it highlights the visceral impact of every scene so well. Next time you watch (or study) this masterpiece, concentrate, for example, on the terrifying sequence where Bud White enters the narrow crawlspace under the old lady's house and discovers the rotting corpse of Buzz Meeks....and the way the minor key+dissonant music makes the hellish situation even more gut-wrenching. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Cavanagh W For reference, I was born in 2002. I genuinely believe that this movie is timeless. This is a classic and a must watch. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The way they were able to capture the energy of LA in the 50's makes me wish I lived it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Ted B 4.5 stars. Three cops, all with different motives, are out to solve a mass murder in an L.A. diner. The victims include a recently retired policeman and a mobster's girlfriend. The story takes place in the early 1950s when the public wanted criminals stopped, and they didn't care what methods the police used to accomplish that. With two cops pursuing different agendas and not following the rules, they try to solve the case for different reasons under their head detective, a stickler for the rules. What could go wrong?....... Everything! Everything about this movie is superb: the acting, the directing, the cinematography, the plotline, the pacing, etc. I saw this movie over twenty years ago (released in 1997) and watched it again recently. It hasn't lost anything over time. Well, you get the picture. I really liked this movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/24 Full Review Eric B The quintessential noir movie... IMO a bit too self-indulgent for my tastes to throw "masterpiece" around, but arguably the best in the genre to introduce a casual moviegoer to. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Suspense ardente, provocador e altamente perigoso. O drama da moralidade é discutida em duas horas de duração imperceptíveis que conduzem o cinéfilo ao limite. Trama ágil, misteriosa e envolvente que traz dúvidas sobre o caráter de três protagonistas em conflito, no qual, apenas um sobreviverá intacto. Clássico moderno que ocupa a galeria de obra prima do cinema com um final arrepiante. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Read all reviews
